Cold Bistrita day walking back from after school program

In the month of November Brian had the opportunity to travel to Hungary and teach at the Bible College. The section we taught through was John 13-17, Jesus final discourse to his disciples. Brian had the opportunity to teach with Jim King, who pastors in Northern England, Mark Walsh, who is in New Zealand, and George Markey jr, from Ukraine. It was an amazing time of teaching and worship and fellowship. Brian really enjoyed being able to connect with a lot of college students and listen to their stories of how God had brought them to the college. All of the stories were different, but they all had a common denominator of how God brought these kids to Hungary. It was such a blessing to see these kids who were 19-23 years old and seeking God's leading for their lives.

Brian Teaching at the college

December brought two interns from the Bible College, Kortni and Aaron, who are completing their 30 day internship, they had come on a 10 day a month earlier with a group of 9 students. They are helping with the after school program, and serving in the church. Its been fun having them around the house being eager to serve wherever they are needed. We also had the privilege of two ladies coming for a 10 day outreach from the Bible college from Mallorca, Spain. So needless to say the house has been busy for the month of December.

We hosted Christmas parties for the Orphan workers, Girls bible study, English class. In each of these parties we were able to establish new relationships or continue old relationships and share the gospel message.

 Christmas eve service was fantastic we had standing room only in the church and had a lot of new faces show up for the service. It was a great opportunity to bless the parents with the kids program and give the gospel message.
